Welcome to Day 1 of #BlackFeministLit. #BlackFeministLit is the Digital Portion of the Black Feminist Thoughts, a series the Critical Race Initiative (CRI) began in Fall 2016 and will continue through the fall.

#BlackFeministLit gives CRI the opportunity to engage in public form of education, breaking down the barriers of the ivory tower to invite dialogue centering Black feminism. To that end, #BlackFeministLit will occur in two parts:

Daily, the CRI will provide a link to content related to Black feminism.

Weekly, the CRI will host a Twitter chat Friday at 1 pm to discuss the week's readings.

Week 1 starts with the theme Black feminist foundations with articles, blogs, and audiovisual material that gives context to the movement, ideology, and theory known as Black feminism.
